A
Don't rim the butts of straight men. No, straight men sometimes be having mud butts and stuff.
- [00:18]
B
No, I. They definitely, definitely, definitely do. It's absolutely horrendous. And shout out to those looking for the DL trade. You are doing God's work out there. Remember, if you paint the DL trade, who are they gonna tell?

B
Oh, my God.
- [01:07]
A
My guest today is an iconic drag queen who competed on RuPaul's Drag Race season 17. One of my favorite queens, a diva who's stunning. Truly a Runway package that rivals no other. She's currently on tour with a drag queen Christmas. A tongue twister. You can get your tickets@dragfans.com just getting calm. It's Lexi, you love.
- [01:34]
B
Oh, my God.
- [01:36]
A
Hi, diva. How are you?
- [01:37]
B
I'm good, my love. How are you?
- [01:39]
A
I'm good. I'm so excited. I genuinely think you are one of the most stunning queens to go through the competition.
- [01:46]
B
Thank you.
- [01:47]
A
Turning love well, you know, and bringing the drama. The episode where I think it was on your nerves, spray painted on your.
- [01:57]
B
I don't recall, by.
- [01:58]
A
By axe. It was an accident.
- [02:00]
B
Uh huh. Absolutely. Allegedly.
- [02:01]
A
But honestly, iconic in this big coat, walking around, who did it? Who did it?
- [02:07]
B
Yeah. Just the utter guttural screams.
- [02:10]
A
But here's the thing that was like, episodes in. The pressure was on. There's cameras on. You people don't know. Like, y' all are filming quick. It's like a day per episode, sometimes a day and a half.
- [02:22]
B
I never knew it was that fast forward.
- [02:24]
A
It's wild. Nobody knows. It's nuts. From, like, here's your challenge to seeing it on the Runway. No time. No.
- [02:31]
B
And they stopwatch it, you know, like they're counting the milliseconds down to it. Like, it's shocking, surprising, and thrilling all at the same time.
- [02:41]
A
It's wild. How did you deal with the pressure during shooting?
- [02:45]
B
Did you not see me? I dealt horribly with it. I was having a panic attack constantly. No, I surprised myself in the long run because I think that I am even mentally I know it didn't seem like it, but stronger than I ever thought possible. That was. That was a real ringer for, I think, for me specifically, maybe some of these younger kids, it was easier to go through. They hadn't been through a lot. There's not a lot to work through, but there was. There was bones in them closets.
- [03:18]
A
Well, it's a lot to have a camera on you at all times, and then if something shitty happens, sometimes it's hard in the moment to react, you know, in a way that you would rather see on television. But it is what it is.
- [03:32]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a tendency of not being able to control that. That moment, but in all reality, I think it was kind of refreshing for a lot of people to see somebody like them, good tv, have those moments. Well, I wasn't thinking about it then, but I agree with you now, darling.
- [03:49]
A
In hindsight, it was like, yes, I was good tv.
- [03:52]
B
Look at me go. I planned that all along.
- [03:55]
A
Here's a question. Are you single? Are you dating? You're engaged, right?
- [04:00]
B
I'm. I'm engaged.
- [04:02]
A
Y. Celebrate it. I love it. When did you get engaged?
- [04:09]
B
So this was a lovely little happy thing that happened back in September. We kind of slid off. I had gone through a little rehab stint this year. I had lots of things that weighed on my mind, in and out. As you all saw on the show. My life is a roller coaster. It's high highs and low lows, and I feel like Jay just really rode that train with me like no other. And as soon as the idea of us discussing something so serious like that, I don't think I've ever had somebody be so into it, you know, like, normally, you're the one that's like, oh, my God, I can see me married one day. I can picture it. And the other person you're with is always like, yeah, maybe, you know, that's not rather my game right now for him. He was like, I see the vision. I see. I see. I see. I know exactly. I know what you're planning already. I can plan it for you. And so to have somebody that eager and that. Sure, I guess you could say I was like, who am I to say?
- [05:08]
A
No, I fucking love that. I love that. Because you do want someone to match you, and you want someone to be excited about the prospect of, like, what does our future look like? And I love. Is this a wig as a ponytail?
- [05:24]
B
Well, yes, it is. It's a full wig. Did you notice the part?
- [05:27]
A
Yes, yes. I was like, what's going on up there.
- [05:30]
B
What is.
- [05:31]
A
What is that? That's. I'm dying. I fucking love that.
- [05:34]
B
Pure drag ingenuity. This is old school drag. You know, the kids. Kids tried to read me on Twitter for this. They tried to call out my part in the middle of my ponytail. And I'm saying, you did not see drag in 1999 through 2007. Cause if you did, you probably give it some credit.
- [05:52]
A
I mean, I give it credit. That's a full ponytail.
- [05:55]
B
Thank you.
- [05:56]
A
She is full. But I truly love that. I love that also. I love that you went to rehab, and I love that you are open about talking about it, because I feel like sometimes people don't want to, like, say, oh, I needed help, you know?
- [06:13]
B
Yeah.
- [06:13]
A
And I think it's great that you went and did it stick? That's a rude question. I mean, what's the actual question? I want to know. Was it helpful?
- [06:22]
B
Did it do its purpose? So very interesting. I would say with a resounding yes, because of where I am today and what I'm doing successfully and what I'm back in the midst of doing, where you can catch me at. But in all seriousness, I had a very traumatic experience when I went to rehab. I had to leave early. There was severe mistreatment of LGBTQ people, of transgender people. I was led to believe. Leave a lot of things that were absolutely falsehoods and fake. And it left me in a place where I was becoming a little bit more traumatized by that experience than what I was going in for. At the end of everything, I was being misdiagnosed. Benzo sleeping pills at an alarming amount that, like, for my body weight would have. Would have done damage. And, like, I had to, like, verbally argue with staff to get them not to get. Forced me to take the medication. So I said the day after that, I'm not. I'm not going back there. So that is its whole, like, own nightmare. And I can only be so public about it when I'm embarrassing coming back.
- [07:28]
A
Yeah.
- [07:28]
B
So I had a slew of people on the Internet being like, oh, here she goes. You know, she can't snick with anything. Just everybody had some thought and. Or thing to say that was negative. So just to the people that stayed positive about it. Thank y'. All.
- [07:43]
A
Yeah. I mean, rehab is a journey in itself, and then having to advocate for yourself in a place that's supposed to help help you is hard. And I think that's important to talk about. It's like, sure. These people are supposed to Be out here helping me. But, like, if they don't know or if it's not working for me, I can't just sit there and go, oh, okay. Thank you so much. It's like, no, I actually don't think I should be on these pills or. I don't think that diagnosis is correct. I'm gonna get a second opinion. Like, yeah, I. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. That sucks.
- [08:14]
B
Thank you.
- [08:15]
A
You're welcome.
- [08:16]
B
Yeah, no, it's. It's been. It's again, own High, low. Journey. The J.
- [08:25]
A
A Journey. Journey. Journey.
- [08:27]
B
I'm on a journey so much. I'm a jaywalker at this point.
- [08:29]
A
Honey, arrest her. She's a jaywalker.
- [08:33]
B
I'll show you my tits. Don't.
- [08:37]
A
So you. How old were you when you first started doing drag? And did you put yourself in drag for the first time?
- [08:42]
B
Ooh, that's a good question. Hey, thank you. I was two weeks before my 18th birthday because we were the gay runaway shutout. Whatever. Then my original drag mom, Nomi Love, painted me in drag for the first. I was so eager. I was so excited. I. I was, like, shaking with anticipation. By the time she revealed me to this mirror, I thought maybe she just stuck a lash on me and a lip liner. And I said, what the hell did you do? Mind you, my example of drag was India, Farah, and penetration because they worked where I was working back then. I thought I needed to be carved out, to be.
- [09:26]
A
Yes, Like a heavy cont.
- [09:28]
B
My mother knew. She knew the doll that was within. She knew where I would end up one day. Now I'm painting how she painted me that day. But that day, absolutely mortified. I was like, oh, no, no. I've got to go in here and just dig and hollow out with these colors. Oh, I would never have done.
- [09:46]
A
That's so funny. Cause I feel like other people's experience that I've heard is like, I was painted so heavy, and I loved it, and I felt so good and confident. And you were like, no more. Cover it up. Cover.
- [10:00]
B
There's so much real estate here, mommy.
- [10:03]
A
So you have a big drag family?
- [10:05]
B
Yes, I, I now I do. So my new motto, my new goal is to have a drag daughter in every state. 50. 50. Is there only 50?
- [10:16]
A
I think there's only 50 states.
- [10:18]
B
Okay, good.
- [10:18]
A
I'm Canadian.
- [10:19]
B
I have no.
- [10:20]
A
Yeah, Mars is Canadian, so she's.
- [10:21]
B
Trust me, I'm American.
- [10:23]
A
You're Luke. You're 22?
- [10:26]
B
Yeah. In college.
- [10:27]
A
How many? You're still in school? How many states are there there in America? Okay, thank you so much. And we have territories like Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands. Guam.
- [10:42]
B
Yeah.
- [10:43]
A
Guam is a US Territory. What else?
- [10:45]
B
The Bahamas.
- [10:46]
A
The Bahamas?
- [10:47]
B
I don't think the Bahamas are the Bahamas, Ari. Trust me. I went to school in Kentucky. Don't ask me.
- [10:54]
A
And I went to public school in New Jersey. I mean, ask me. I'll be like, maybe I know this. I don't know. So wait, you. You don't live Kentucky anymore? You live in Ohio now?
- [11:05]
B
Oh, unfortunately, we are just separated by a little body of water called the Ohio River. So I am right there in the ass crack of both of them. He's on my assistant's on the Ohio side and I'm on the Kentucky side. I had a house with my crazy day job that I had before Drag Race.
- [11:23]
A
Yes. That you worked at five days a week.
- [11:25]
B
Anti money laundering. Yes, yes.
- [11:27]
A
Anti money laundering.
- [11:30]
B
I taught anti money laundering to. To bankers. Yeah. Yeah. But I did. I worked seven days a week. I had a house in one city, I had an apartment in another city. And I would just go and work and go and work. And I did that for like four or five years until I got on the show.
- [11:48]
A
Did that burn you out at all? Probably. That's a long time to be working seven fucking days a week.
- [11:53]
B
I'm telling you. I really was at the. At some point, I was like, this is not. This is not worth it. This is just not. Like, it's not making me happy. It's getting me from point A to point B. I'm accomplishing goals that I want to accomplish. But, like, everyone around me was like, you're fucking crazy. And then they would go to bed and then I would drive home to go to work that morning. And now, lo and behold, everything that has happened, they're like, so, girl, what time did you get up that morning? Because I just wanted to know what time I should be getting up because I'm going to my day job. That is now a day job and the night job. And I'm actually taking on a third job to try and top you. I'm like, go for it, Go for it. It's sickening. I'm so proud of you. I wish somebody was doing it when I was.
- [12:39]
A
Here's a question. What is. Okay, anti money laundering, what is the thing that you would tell them?
- [12:46]
B
Okay, so I would teach the bankers how to go in, let's say, your account if there is a red flag or an indication that there is money laundering happening. And I Would show them what to look for, to give them those recommendations or indications. Then we would make the recommendation to close your account completely. You could have millions at the bank, and we could make the recommendation shut them down, and you would just have somebody check off all of your work. But, baby, we had power.
- [13:19]
A
So, okay is a sign of money laundering. Large deposits.
- [13:24]
B
That is a great indicator. Yes, my love. So big sums of cash, maybe money coming in from foreign places that it doesn't normally come in from. Amounts of cash that doesn't sum up to what your annual income or what your job occupation is. There's so many requirements now that they can, like, go through and dig through.
- [13:50]
A
Girl, I see. Okay. I genuinely find this interesting because have you ever seen that movie Catch me if you can? Oh, with Leonardo.
- [13:59]
B
Yes. Okay. Yes, yes, yes.
- [14:00]
A
Where he was, like, washing checks and writing different numbers on them. Like claws that. What?
- [14:05]
B
Claws. The TV show claws.
- [14:06]
A
Oh, I've only seen the first, baby.
- [14:08]
B
Washing that money in the. In the. What are those, the pill clinics? Oh, my gosh. Yes. So now I feel so interesting, you know? You know, your wash money, that's exciting.
- [14:21]
A
But do you think fraud is harder to do in the. The age of the Internet, or do you think it was. Do you think it was, like, easier when there was no Internet or. The Internet's made it easier. I think that I love fraud.
- [14:34]
B
No Internet, definitely. Internet's fucking it up. Okay. It's messing fraud up. The other issue I'm gonna say is just plastics. You know, people have switched from using cash so much, it's so hard to launder money that's not launderable. You know what I mean? If it's already in the financial institutions, it's already been integrated.
- [14:56]
A
Integrated, interesting. Would you monitor. Sorry, I have. So, okay. Would you monitor, like, offshore accounts? Like, if someone had an account in, like, the Cayman Islands, would you be like. That's a red flag.
- [15:06]
B
Well, here's the thing. If that person had money come in from their account at the Cayman Islands. Absolutely. Anything from the Cayman Islands anywhere is a red flag in the U.S. okay. Bingo, bingo, bingo, bingo, bingo. Bongo.
- [15:19]
A
And Switzerland, right?
- [15:20]
B
Swiss. Absolutely. But let me tell you this. We sent a lot of. A lot of money out to the Swiss. Yeah, that was something that really wasn't as big of a red flag. There's, like, five countries that are, like, major. No, nos. Can't do that. They're gonna send the money back.
- [15:37]
A
Where are they? I just want all my scammers to be aware.
- [15:43]
B
Well, you know, they update this list every so often. So it's like Cuba, Iran, you know, the Crimea region.
- [15:53]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [15:54]
B
O figure Crimea. No, it's just. It's very. It's very crazy. The one thing that I will say was my biggest joy out of the job was the. I guess you could say like the legal cases. So we would have to investigate people that gets arrested that are either convicted or maybe they just got. They got let off with, you know, paying. Paying. What is that? If you just pay like a civil suit or something like that. Instead we got to read all of their court documents. So there was like today, current day, like mafia things going on, Drug cartel stuff. Yes. And you're reading their depositions. It really, really, really, really.
- [16:39]
A
Oh, my God, I'm so jealous.
- [16:41]
B
That's a fun day. I would be sitting there smoking weed, shoving my face with popcorn, going, holy shit. She did not. Okay, yeah, close that account, baby. Close it down.
- [16:52]
A
Close. Favorite is like when people get caught and it's like they bought a yacht, their kids were going to private school, they drove a Rolls, Roy. And I'm like, diva. If you have stolen money, like drive a Corolla, like, have them go to public. Don't. Don't buy expensive things. Yeah, right.
- [17:12]
B
You would think, you would think. But that is one of the most common ways that people just would get away with something like that back in the day. But again, with the way that things run now, there's impossible to do anything without a paper trail. Almost.
- [17:25]
A
Almost.
- [17:26]
B
Almost.
- [17:27]
A
Now I kind of want to commit fraud just to see if someone will catch me.
- [17:31]
B
Guess what? You already are just kidding.
- [17:34]
A
Imagine. I was like, oh, my God, how she's so excited. I was like, how you too can.
- [17:40]
B
Help your friends fraud and you can find out on Patreon.
- [17:43]
A
Here is the fraud I want to commit. Okay, so Delta one has a lounge, and it's a really nice lounge. And there's a restaurant and a food, like, pretty good. So I want to buy a Delta One ticket, go to the lounge, not get on the plane, get my money refunded and have a nice free dinner.
- [18:01]
B
That is actually very clever.
- [18:02]
A
That's the fraud I want to do.
- [18:04]
B
That is so clever because I did.
- [18:05]
A
It once, but I didn't go in the lounge.
- [18:07]
B
I think that's just called a free trial, right? Yeah, I don't think that it's even fried. Yeah, it's just a little probationary period.
- [18:16]
A
Don't clip that for social, because I really want to try it and I don't want Delta to be on High alert about me. I don't want Ed Bastian to be like, she can't come in the loud, baby.
- [18:27]
B
That's when we did that little Nicki Minaj stunt. We thought that we were gonna be on Delta Snow fly list, baby. So trust me, I understand that concern.
- [18:34]
A
Did you ask before you did that?
- [18:35]
B
Fuck no.
- [18:35]
A
What do you mean, did I ask, Honey?
- [18:38]
B
We waited until the security was gone and we booked it. All you could hear was me, Claude, hopping through the, through the airport.
- [18:46]
A
It's a good video.
- [18:47]
B
Thank you. Oh, it's the dress.
- [18:50]
A
Oh, is it gag?
- [18:51]
B
It is. Come through.
- [18:54]
A
Here's a question. So when you were on the show, you were with your fiance, right? Were you together or.
- [19:01]
B
No, no, we were not together when I was actually on the show. We met right after I came back, before everything was announced.
- [19:08]
A
So were people sliding into your DMs trying to get at you when, like as you were on tv?
- [19:16]
B
I, I, yeah. So this is something that just happens. I don't necessarily, I don't feed into a lot of that and I don't like, I think a lot of times it's just like very, very weird, perverted people. So I'm just like, whatever. But yes, I get a lot of those types of things. So, yes, yes, I feel like that, I feel like it's still happening. It's probably happening right now.
- [19:36]
A
Right now you're just getting nasty little messages, nasty little dick pics. What was your dating life like before the show? Did you date a lot? Did you stay single a lot?
- [19:46]
B
No, I'm not a serial dater or anything like that. I'm a very committed girl. So I was in a quite serious relationship with someone a little bit younger than I. I was playing cougar for the moment. And right before that I had gotten out of like a 10 year, very serious relationship and we worked at the, the, the financial job together. So I feel like I've always taken relationships very seriously in my life. And that's probably like an indication of my childhood or some kind of trauma that I have anyways. But yeah, no relationships. Very, very big on and, and very dedicated to.
- [20:27]
A
10 years is a super long time to be in a relationship. Can I ask, did it end amicably? Is that how you say it? Amicably?
- [20:35]
B
No, it was surprising enough. I feel like it did. We had, we got, got sober together.
- [20:42]
A
Okay.
- [20:42]
B
I, I was a crystal math whiz and.
- [20:49]
A
I, you know, I did meth one time. I cleaned my whole house and I said I feel great and Then I couldn't sleep for a very long time. And I was like, I don't know what this was, but it was not fun.
- [20:59]
B
It's not what I thought it was. No, I. I got clean with him. So we, we went through a very, say, like, life changing, traumatic, but like transforming period together. So we kind of felt like we couldn't leave each other. And then I finally was able to like open up and be able to gender express myself and transition. And it just seemed he actually had an ex wife. So when I became, when I started to become a lady, he was like, he said, no, no, no, no, I've done this, I've done this.
- [21:35]
A
I love you, been there, done it. I don't want. And I'm like, that's gender affirming.
- [21:41]
B
I said, thank you.
- [21:42]
A
Yeah, that's affirming.
- [21:45]
B
And I'm gonna help you find someone. So I helped. Oh, did you? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I helped him find the man of his dreams.
- [21:51]
A
I like that.
- [21:52]
B
Oh, absolutely. I don't why I don't want to leave this life with enemies. And that's even people that I necessarily don't have the best, you know, ending with. So I think ensuring that we have a good relationship to continue on is only gonna make me happier. You.
- [22:08]
A
I like that. I think that's. I think a lot of people end relationships in a way where they're like, I hate that person. So, okay, did you date them in the first place? I'm obsessed with Wolfgang Puck and he has a restaurant where the co owner of the restaurant is his ex wife. And they did not end on good terms, but they still co own that restaurant. So they still have to like see each other. And I'm like, if only you torture. Understood each other's differences and whatnot, you could like co own it harmoniously.
- [22:40]
B
But no, it's like, but at this point, what are you holding on to? Why are you holding on to anything at this point? You're making money, you're successful, you have nothing to worry about other than being bitter. Yeah, life must be boring. Life must be really boring.
- [22:58]
A
I agree with you. People who hold onto things and like think about things and like harp on it. And like, I hate that fucking bitch. It's like, yeah, go live a life. Go, go have a nice time. Go to Disney. Yeah, go walk. Yeah, pet a something. Pet a dawn girl.
- [23:14]
B
Stop running.
- [23:16]
A
Pick out a nice outfit. Have a nice time.
- [23:18]
B
Anything other than this.
- [23:19]
A
I try really hard not to be bitter.
- [23:21]
B
Yeah.
- [23:21]
A
And I try really hard not to be negative. But Sometimes it's nice to hate on somebody and be like, tee hee hee. And then just like, leave it alone.
- [23:28]
B
I know. I know nothing about that. I don't know what you mean. I don't. I'm not that type of person.
- [23:33]
A
I love talking shit, but not holding the hate in my heart.
- [23:36]
B
Exact. I do it with a smile and a twinkle in my eye.
- [23:40]
A
Yeah, it's like when people comment. Shit. I've talked about this so much on the podcast. I think it should be illegal to put negative comments on people's social media. Why? Why are you in your.

B
Without your name, address, and date of birth? Yeah, if you leave that, you can leave any disparaging comments you want about me. But I want to. I want to have your location turned on.
- [23:59]
A
Yes.
- [24:00]
B
Yeah. I want to be able to find.
- [24:01]
A
You, steal your identity.
- [24:03]
B
I want to find you at 2:30am.

2:30Am I would be so excited at 2:30am if I woke up and you were like in my room, in the window.
- [24:13]
B
The pony.
- [24:14]
A
Just wait. Okay, so there's somebody who says you infringed on their name. What happened with this? You had to change your social. Do you want to talk about it? You don't have to.
- [24:24]
B
More fraud. No. Yay, fraud. More.
- [24:28]
A
This is the fraud we don't like.

Okay, the thing is.

Wait. Before we get into it, we have to take a break. Take. So it's the holiday season, which means everyone is shopping, everyone is busy, and everyone's trying to get your money. I swear, every time I open my phone, there's some wild scam popping up. Just last week, someone tried to convince me that I won a luxury cruise for two and I was like, no, I don't want to go on a cruise. And also, I didn't win this. You'll not catch my ass on a cruise ship. Truly, you won't. The holidays are all about finding the perfect gift. But this time of year, not every deal is actually what it seems. Scammers are getting more creative to trick people into sharing their payment info through methods like fake shopping sites and giveaways that are too good to be true. Luckily, Cash App's 247 fraud monitoring helps detect and alert you for unusual card activity should someone gain access to your card. So you can act fast if something seems off.

B
So Gagatondra. This woman existed without my knowledge. Okay, There is another clever woman out there that created the name Lexi Love. Okay? And she did a slew. And that is a lot of pornographic videos under my entertainer name. Were they good?
- [29:12]
A
Good?
- [29:13]
B
I refuse to watch them.
- [29:15]
A
Okay, I get it.
- [29:16]
B
So. No, really, I think a great little gimmick would be right reading through just a couple of the titles because they literally. I. I belly cackled over some of these.
- [29:26]
A
Wait, really? Can I look up some?
- [29:27]
B
Oh, please, please. My most favorite title is Whitezilla is a 2.
- [29:32]
A
2.
- [29:34]
B
2. There was a 1.
- [29:36]
A
It did so well that there's a sequel.
- [29:38]
B
It did. It did. It did. Did. She's very into anal play. She's a big anal girly. So I thought it was me at first, but then you're reminded. So yeah, just Lexi love. IMDb anybody, anytime, IMDb. Go get her some extra.
- [29:54]
A
Okay, I was googling it, but I'm gonna extra followers. Okay, IMDb.
- [29:59]
B
My favorite is how she's number four. For what?
- [30:04]
A
GTA that.
- [30:05]
B
GTA number four. She was a GTA prostitute number four. She couldn't even be prostitute number one.
- [30:10]
A
Teen Booty Beat down.
- [30:12]
B
Teen booty beat down.
- [30:13]
A
Wait, wife switch 16. That means there's 15 other wife switches. Dirty little threesome part two. Anal fixation.
- [30:24]
B
It's epic.
- [30:24]
A
It's Penny pops addicted to latex. I love these. Cherry pick.
- [30:35]
B
No, it did.
- [30:35]
A
First time Wife swappers. Little gaping lesbians. One mommy Gang bang five. I'm. And she said cease and desist to you.
- [30:47]
B
She's like, I'm not this disgusting drag queen. I'm like, no, you're not.
- [30:52]
A
Wait, did she. Was she, like, upset that you were a drag queen? This is iconic.
- [30:57]
B
Yes.
- [30:58]
A
Natural and hairy. 22 white trash nurses. Teens like it. Big hot bush. Big wet butts. Big wet butts. Is this. I might have to watch Big wet butts. Anal buffet. Bush administration. Lord of ass is 13. You're right. These are iconic squirt. Gang Bang 3 hairy movies. Squirtalicious Harry Movie Black Boned. I don't know, girl. That one's tough for me. Oh, my God. Pussy in a bottle.
- [31:33]
B
I'm gonna ruin my makeup.
- [31:37]
A
I am floored. That Hotbush was like, I don't want a drag queen using my stage name.
- [31:45]
B
Yeah.
- [31:46]
A
Oh, my God.
- [31:47]
B
Well, she said, I've had a 20 year career and you're erasing it in this amount of time. You. Because when you search me, you only find you. And I said, wow, that speaks for your 20 year career. That doesn't speak for me.
- [31:59]
A
I mean, I guess Blackboned didn't do so hot people aren't looking for it. That's really. So did you have to, like, change your. Your drag name, like, or just your socials?
- [32:13]
B
So, unfortunately, as of now, I am putting my dead name on my account.
- [32:18]
A
I'm sorry.
- [32:19]
B
So she can't attack it. It is what it is. It's still my name. Thank you.
- [32:23]
A
It still sucks, though, because it's not your chosen name.
- [32:26]
B
It really does. Yeah, but I'm, you know, I'm a team player.
- [32:32]
A
That's what she said in Gangbusters 10.
- [32:37]
B
Yeah, I'm just. Right now, the name is a waiting game. And it humbled me to be in the top four of Drag Race and to have to make a GoFundMe because this woman is getting my bookings taken away. So I'm having big event gigs that.
- [32:57]
A
Are pulling out because she doesn't want.
- [32:59]
B
She's sending the cease and desist. That's not even a real cease and desist. That no lawyer is backing that nobody's actually pursuing them. And they're like, you know what?
- [33:07]
A
We just don't want the trouble.
- [33:09]
B
Yep, we're not gonna do it.
- [33:10]
A
I'm so sorry. That fucking sucks.
- [33:12]
B
Yeah. So I've probably lost like 25k in the last 6 months from her alone, just from bookings. And then they wanted to turn around and say, you know, you have to pay so many thousands for your retainer for a trademark lawyer that's more expensive than a regular lawyer. And I said, I don't have that money. And I said, now I really don't have that money. So we resorted to go funding moi.
- [33:33]
A
What if you just changed the I to a Y abc?
- [33:36]
B
That sounds like it would work. But guess what? Then she's going to say, it's too close, too similar. And she's still doing that. She would. Literally. We changed it just to Lexi and venue still pulled out. So I don't really know what else to do other than Warrior up.
- [33:53]
A
Ooh. Damn. I'm sorry. That sucks.
- [33:56]
B
It does. And let me tell you, from being somebody doing hard math equations under a bridge, to now buying a lawyer for trademark law is a complete 180 in life that I never thought I'd have.
- [34:13]
A
Have you spoken to porn Lexi?
- [34:16]
B
Said Lexi. I have reached out to. To said doll face, and she refuses to have any communication whatsoever and just wants me to, like, turn over everything. Alexi Love involved and I'm like, eat my dick.
- [34:34]
A
Truly. Yeah. Munch, munch, crunch, crunch. That's rude. If there was a porn Nicole Byer, I'd be like, have at it. Have a nice time.
- [34:44]
B
I was like, can we partner? Can I get a license? It. How much do you want for me to use? Like, if it's that important to you? Because I didn't want to have to lawyer up. But nah, now that we're doing this, I will definitely be keeping Lexi love.
- [35:01]
A
Well, do you still have the GoFundMe?
- [35:03]
B
I do. The GoFundMe is up and running.
- [35:07]
A
So if you would like to donate to the GoFundMe, please. To conquer and crush porn. Lexi love.
- [35:13]
B
I never thought this would be happening. What the fuck? Please help me know. Thank you. I really appreciate it. That would be amazing. I did not expect to have to do this, but it is literally what we gotta do.
- [35:26]
A
It is interesting. When you start being in the public eye, what issues arise. Like, never in your life did you think that your name, your chosen name, would be a thing.
- [35:37]
B
My drag name turned chosen name would end up being something that somebody on the other side of the country is like. Nah, are you kidding me?
- [35:48]
A
It's always the white women. Sorry, Mars.
- [35:51]
B
Thanks. Thanks.
- [35:54]
A
Thanks, Mars. Real quick, we gotta take another break. Holiday shopping season is officially here, and if you're anything like me, you're already panicking a little. You want to get something that actually feels personal, but not like you spent hours scrolling or crafting. That's where Uncommon Good saves the day. They have thousands of gifts you won't find anywhere else. And the best ones always go fast. So this is the time to start checking people off your list. So much of it's handmade or made in the US by independent artists and small businesses. And they've got some really fun experience gifts too. Like a date night cooking class, a dog massage workshop. Yes, that is real. Or a flower arrangement class. Those make such good gifts for people who already have everything. Plus, they donate $1 from every order to a nonprofit of your choice. And they've donated over $3 million already said. Oh, wait. Cross those names off your list before the rush. To get 15% off your next gift, go to UncommonGoods.com date me. That's UncommonGoods.com date me for 15% off. Uncommon Goods were all out of the ordinary. We're back. Lexi, here's a question. When you're single, how do you deal with being. Do you enjoy being single? I know you're not currently, but did you enjoy it?
- [37:32]
B
No. I hate being alone. I have severe anxiety. I have severe, like, not. Not. Maybe not, like, dependent personality traits, but I do need reassurance. Reassurance from a partner or somebody that I trust in a very intimate way. I need that, like, sounding board constantly. Without that, I feel a little crazy.
- [37:54]
A
That's me. And it's called codependency.
- [37:59]
B
I really thought I was avoiding that now.
- [38:02]
A
And I think it's okay to be codependent as long as you understand you're codependent.
- [38:07]
B
I absolutely agree with that. Okay.
- [38:08]
A
Okay. Yes. Because sometimes I'll be like, oh, I'm falling into a codependency pattern. Let me see if I can get myself out of it. Let me, like, make some choices on my own and be okay with that.
- [38:19]
B
Absolutely.
- [38:20]
A
Yeah. I think as long as, you know, it's okay.
- [38:23]
B
Well, see, the thing, we're doing better then than our parents, because that's where you model. That's where a lot of times this relationship gets modeled after. And I can tell you one thing. My mom does not know that about herself.
- [38:35]
A
So it is interesting. I saw. I didn't watch the whole thing. I saw a clip of a TED Talk that. It said you're just searching for relationships. Like, if you lived with your parents, you're looking for that relationship. If you lived with your grandparents, you're looking for that relationship. Because that's what feels safe and at home. And, like, if you grew up in a toxic household, toxicity feels more at home than normal. And I was like, that's wild.
- [39:02]
B
That's my life. I have a problem. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- [39:06]
A
Totally. It's not a problem. It's just how we're programmed. It's kind of wild.
- [39:10]
B
It. It's eye opening, I think, to go through this type of experience, especially for somebody of my age, just because there's more things, I think, for me to process and for me to be able to be perceptive of, because a lot of times it's. You're too young to see the bigger picture. You're too young to be able to step back and be like, oh, I see what's happening here. And I feel like I was able to do a lot of that. So while there was a lot of young viewers, maybe that was just like, God, she's just all over the place. A lot of other people were like, oh, she's real. Like, all of it's making sense now, you know, like, things are actually opening up in that bigger picture, so.
- [39:47]
A
Well, I think it's interesting being on a reality television show. It's not actually reality, and I think people need to just get that in their brain.
- [39:58]
B
Yeah.
- [39:58]
A
It is not real. If you take somebody's footage from. From two hours and edit it down to five minutes, you can literally portray them in 20 different ways.
- [40:08]
B
Absolutely.
- [40:09]
A
And people don't understand that. It's like maybe they leave out this or leave out that. And also, they don't take in consideration. You had a whole life before Drag Race that has influenced how you respond to things. Listen, the people need to know. They need to know.
- [40:23]
B
Wake it up.
- [40:24]
A
Wake it up.
- [40:24]
B
Wake it up, America.
- [40:25]
A
Wake it up. Lexi, do you have any advice for single people at all?
- [40:30]
B
All advice for single people?
- [40:33]
A
Yeah.
- [40:33]
B
Don't settle. Ooh, never settle. Like, that is. That's a lot of times you hear about, like, people get into relationships, they do it just because they feel like they need to, or they have codependent issues like us just doing things, I think for the right reasons and with the right intention in any aspect in your life will ensure happiness. I think it's when we misconstrue our intentions and when we do things for the wrong reasons is when things backfire on us in life.
- [41:03]
A
I like that. I think that's good advice.
- [41:06]
B
Yeah. And suck dick.
- [41:08]
A
Yes, suck dick.
- [41:10]
B
Suck dick. Eat pussy. Do all the things you like to do. Just use your mouth. That's my advice. Use your mouth.
- [41:15]
A
Use your mouth. Rim those butts.
- [41:17]
B
Rim em up.
- [41:19]
A
You know, I take that back. Don't rim the butts of straight men.
- [41:24]
B
No.
- [41:24]
A
Straight men sometimes be having mud butts and stuff.
- [41:28]
B
No, I. They definitely, definitely, definitely do. It's absolutely horrendous. And shout out to those looking for the DL trade. You are doing God's work out there. Remember, if you paint the DL trade, who are they going to tell?
- [41:47]
A
I. That's very funny to me. I really like that. Who are they going to tell?
- [41:51]
B
Who are they going to tell?
- [41:52]
A
Who they going to tell? What is your idea of like, the. Oh, here. What's the most romantic date you've been on?
- [41:59]
B
Ooh, I TBD I have not gotten a lot of memorable, let alone like iconic date experiences. I think that like mine and Jay's relationship, like who I'm currently with, we haven't had a lot of opportunities to do things like that. So now we're doing like cutesy, like we do dinner, our dates every week. And like, you know, I always heard of people doing things like that. And I was like, they don't really do that.
- [42:26]
A
People really do that. They do really cute.
- [42:30]
B
But I mean, I. Yeah, Nothing. Nothing really yet. So I am, I am waiting for that experience that like big wow date.
- [42:41]
A
What is your like in your brain? What's like the most romantic date.
- [42:46]
B
Ew. The most romantic experience I could get. I think that's going to be. I like a lot of physical attention. So I think like massage, couples massages, spa retreat, prostate massages.
- [43:07]
A
Okay, prostate massages.
- [43:10]
B
You know, I think just doing things together in a very slow, soft and sensual way.
- [43:16]
A
I think you missed this. I was giving a prostate massage.
- [43:19]
B
Ooh. I didn't know because there was only one finger.
- [43:21]
A
Well, there's. It's for two people.
- [43:23]
B
Oh. Oh, you said, oh, get in there.
- [43:26]
A
I was confused cuz there was only one finger.
- [43:29]
B
I thought she was like, no, I.
- [43:31]
A
Was trying to prostate massage two different.
- [43:33]
B
Very little prostate baby.
- [43:35]
A
And at Nicole's prostate shop, I used it up there and I'm underneath and I'm going. But now I know I gotta go.
- [43:44]
B
Okay. And we're. And we're playing Sarah McLaughlin in the.
- [43:46]
A
Back in the arms.
- [43:50]
B
Get yours today.
- [43:53]
A
Okay. So a couple's massage.
- [43:55]
B
Yes.
- [43:56]
A
I like sexy couples massage.
- [43:59]
B
Rose petals everywhere. Soft music, lingerie. I think, yeah, very sensual. Private, intimate things. Maybe a little nature. Oh, out in the woods.
- [44:11]
A
I like this. I think you should do this for your anniversary. I think you should rent a cute little cabin in the woods.
- [44:18]
B
Jay, don't watch this.
- [44:19]
A
No. Or watch it and book it.
- [44:21]
B
No. Yeah, just don't watch. Cause she's telling me what to do right now.
- [44:23]
A
No, no. Jay can watch and Jay can surprise. Cause you'll forget that we've said this.
- [44:28]
B
Babe, you have a job to do.
- [44:29]
A
You're not gonna watch this back.
- [44:31]
B
So I'm too busy.
- [44:33]
A
You're too busy. You're, you know, fighting for your name. You're touring, you're doing so Jay. Okay. Rent a cabin in the woods not too far from town. We don't want it to be creepy. And then book a masseuse. A hot, big, strong mass. Get that lingerie. You know her sizes. And then on your anniversary, have a candlelit dinner with rose petals. Your favorite meal. What is it? Ham.
- [44:59]
B
How did you know?
- [45:00]
A
Ham.
- [45:00]
B
I know. I like. I love pork.
- [45:03]
A
Wait, really?
- [45:05]
B
You said that? Because I do love pork.
- [45:07]
A
I just. I've been thinking about ham recently.
- [45:09]
B
No.
- [45:09]
A
But, yeah. Wouldn't that be a lovely anniversary?
- [45:12]
B
Be delicious.
- [45:13]
A
Yeah, I. I like it. So, Jay, do it. What's the worst date you've ever been on?
- [45:19]
B
Being left with a bill. Being left with a bill. Yes.
- [45:23]
A
Rude.
- [45:23]
B
Yes, rude. Think you're going out to a lovely dinner with somebody. Think that they're, like, showing you a good time. You're like, wow, I'm so impressed by you. Only to find out that they don't even have enough money in their account to complete what's happening tonight. And because they expected you to do it, they are now going to try and run off at the end of the dining experience.
- [45:43]
A
Wait, you were on a date where someone, like, dine and ditch, like, left the room.
- [45:48]
B
Absolutely horrible. I sat there, cried to them, like, why would he do this to me? But the time, I was not a doll. So it was just a little gay boy whining at the front door, already lit. So they were just, like, absolutely already lit. Yeah. They were like, absolutely not. You will be paying this. And I was like, okay. So I had, like, go back and pay it, like, a week later. Like, they let me.
- [46:09]
A
They let.
- [46:09]
B
They give me a little time.
- [46:10]
A
I didn't have to do.
- [46:11]
B
Have to do dishes or anything. Crazy. But, yeah, crazy.
- [46:15]
A
That is wild. To just feel like, don't have it. Got to go by.
- [46:18]
B
Yeah. He said, oh, you don't have it. I thought you did.
- [46:20]
A
I said, honestly, that's kind of iconic. Two poor people being like, the other one's got it.
- [46:27]
B
Two poor people. Let's go eat steak.
- [46:29]
A
Let's go eat steak. Let's see. It's a fun game. Who's got the money?
- [46:33]
B
You want a bottle of wine?
- [46:36]
A
Let's get everything on the menu, all the appetizers. Who's got the money? That's Lexi. I'm dying. That's so funny, because it's wild that you went on the date with. You didn't have the money.
- [46:45]
B
Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not. The best thing that ever happened. We. When I was, like, living in a house with no running water, electricity, there was, like, four of us drag queens that all lived together, and the head crone, drag queen that was, like, guiding us around the time. Her name's Bella Dolce. May she rest in peace. She would take Us all with backpacks to the Chinese buffet. And we would fill Ziploc freezer baggies from the Chinese buffet of food, and we would pile it in the fridge and eat on that for days on end. And we would have, like, a wet bag, a dry bag, a bread bag.
- [47:19]
A
But a wet bag, a dry bag, a bread bag.
- [47:23]
B
Yes.
- [47:24]
A
Girl in the red bag.
- [47:25]
B
The bread.
- [47:26]
A
Oh, the red bag. I thought you said the red bag. I was like, that's just sauces.
- [47:32]
B
That would be the. That would be. That would be the bathroom bag, probably.
- [47:35]
A
Honestly, that is smart.
- [47:39]
B
No, it was iconic.
- [47:41]
A
You don't have the money.
- [47:42]
B
We're gonna get arrested. And she goes, they know we do this. Don't worry.
- [47:45]
A
I mean, honestly, they make a lot of food. They probably waste a lot of food.
- [47:49]
B
Half of that food was expired before it went out for the buffet.
- [47:52]
A
I'm dying. That is incredible. So, wait, you lived in a house with no running water?
- [47:58]
B
No running water, no electricity, and the. There was a total of five of us that lived in it. Yeah. Three story antique home. Yeah. That had absolutely nothing. We were all, like, gay, runaway, shut ins, blah, blah, blah.
- [48:12]
A
Are you on good terms with your parents now or. No. And we don't have to get into.
- [48:17]
B
No, no.
- [48:17]
A
It's.
- [48:18]
B
It's so interesting, you know, the way that things played out on the show, because I really thought that, like, it would just be a completely different experience. And now we were just going to be, like, in trans bliss. But I think just reality sank back in from the reality of being reality star, and my mom just kind of went back to her norm and I. And I can't blame her for that. That's just my mom. So hopefully in the future we'll have a better evolution of our relationship. But as of right now, it kind of went back to where it was before we went on the trip.
- [48:53]
A
Well, I will reframe it in a way that, yeah, maybe you will get to a place because there's ebbs and flows.
- [49:01]
B
Absolutely.
- [49:01]
A
You know, it's like acceptance, rejection, acceptance. It's not a fun road to be on.
- [49:07]
B
She's like a boomerang. She'll come around.
- [49:09]
A
Okay. All right. Okay, Mama.
- [49:19]
B
You get it. You get it.
- [49:20]
A
I do get it. And it's like. I mean, it's not the same, but, like, I've had family members who are like, you can't be an actor, like, or, like, have something to say about me doing comedy. This literally is not the same thing. But I kind of get it.
- [49:34]
B
No, that's my entire family. I think, like, all the way, like, through school and getting to this point, I was like, I'm. I'm going to be in acting one day. And they were all like, he's creative. He's so artistic. And now they're like, you're so creative still. And I'm like, okay, great. I don't think anything.
- [49:53]
A
You don't have to have a stank face about it. I am creative. I will say this. I think it's really awesome that you live so authentically, even though there's people in your life who say, I don't like it. I think it's really cool.
- [50:06]
B
I appreciate that a lot.
- [50:07]
A
I love it. It's fun not to make.
- [50:12]
B
Keeps life interesting.
- [50:12]
A
Reducing it to, like, it's fun that you live your authentic truth. No, I just think it's really interesting when people, like, transness is a choice or being gay is a choice. And it's like, yeah, but, like, if you chose to not be trans or not be gay or whatever, it's like, then your family would accept you a little. Do you know what I mean?
- [50:29]
B
Oh, absolutely.
- [50:30]
A
Life would just be easier. And that's why I don't think it's.
- [50:32]
B
A choice of transition. I waited until I was 30 years old to finally follow through with it because I was so scared, because of where I live, because of just how much it complicates all the relationships in your lives. My entire. Where a world was built around the support and, or the approval of this extended conservative family. So I, I, I have spent a lot of time being obsessed over that.
- [51:01]
A
I like that you did it also. It's never too late to transition.
- [51:04]
B
No, it's not.
- [51:05]
A
It's never too late to figure out what makes you happy.
- [51:08]
B
It's not. And I think the funny thing is, just like, you already know. No, you're just, you're just hurting yourself, girl. You're just making yourself upset. And at the end of the day, ain't nobody, like, getting a kick out of you not doing what makes you happy. You're the only one hurting, so.
- [51:24]
A
Yes. Speak on it, sister. Preach.
- [51:29]
B
Okay. The Reverend Lexi Love, M.D.
- [51:35]
A
What if you change your name to that?
- [51:39]
B
I mean, workshopping. We're workshopping.
- [51:41]
A
I mean, I kind of like it.
- [51:42]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [51:43]
A
The Reverend Lexi Love, M.D.
- [51:45]
B
Dds. Oh, exactly.
- [51:47]
A
Throw that right on the end.
- [51:49]
B
Exactly. I want all the abbreviations.
- [51:52]
A
What's one of the wildest dates you've ever been on?
- [51:54]
B
Ooh. So I was 19. I got. There was a man. A man brought me to la.
- [52:04]
A
You got flew out?
- [52:05]
B
I got flew out. And I came and there was a young guy and they used to have a show called a thing called Tiger Heat in LA that would go on like Thursdays, and it was like a big gay party. And I went. I met this guy. He was 19. He was super young. I was like, wow, I'm so impressed by you. He had a sports car. I said, sugar daddy. I was like, oh, I was about to. Okay, Sugar daddy's fine. I didn't say his first name. Sugar daddy said no. And so I got the number, you know, I flew back home and that boy reached out to me. I came out and spent a couple days with him. He actually. This is the coolest thing I think I've ever done. He took me in his little sports car. And the hills up here in LA and like, how they twist and wind and you, like, see the city out from him. But it was at night, so, like, the city's all lit up. It's all lit up.
- [52:56]
A
Yeah.
- [52:56]
B
He's flying around in his sports car. I felt like I was on the Fast and the Furious. I was wet. It was absolutely incredible. That was the coolest thing I've ever done. And I said, one day I'm of ice sports car and I'm going to be with someone and I'm going to whip it through there and make them feel like that. So that's. Yeah, it was magical.
- [53:15]
A
It sounds like fun.
- [53:16]
B
Yeah, I felt like a bond girl.
- [53:18]
A
Did y' all fuck after? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. I've never been flew out. That sounds so fun.
- [53:30]
B
Well, it's. Of course it sounds fun, but there was like. There was. There's this Trans girl on TikTok, the one that does daughter 5678. Is she giving 5678. And she just did a TikTok about one of her daughters that came to her and said, well, I got flew out to Paris, blah, blah, blah. The man expected xyz. And she says, you got a free trip to Paris. You didn't. What did you think they were gonna be expecting? And I think that's like something that a lot of people forget still, you know, like, there's. This is a trade. It's ass or grass, baby. There's no such thing as a free lunch these days.
- [54:11]
A
There is if you're into fraud. You fly out to Paris and guess what? You don't get picked up. You get in an Uber and you go about your business.
- [54:21]
B
Giddy on up. I actually we should just do that.
- [54:25]
A
Together, get food out, and then just go about our business.
- [54:28]
B
Nicole and Mexie try to commit fraud.
- [54:31]
A
Okay, that's. Wow. Wow. Presents +.
- [54:37]
B
Fraudsters.
- [54:38]
A
I really do want to commit fraud.
- [54:41]
B
Fraud busters. Ooh. Because we're busting the myth of. Can you create fraud today?
- [54:46]
A
Yes.
- [54:47]
B
Love it.
- [54:47]
A
Wait, and then it's in, like. It's in the vein of, like, oh, it's just a TV show. We're not actually committed fraud. We'll give the money back.
- [54:54]
B
I'm not putting this money in my account in the Cayman Island.
- [54:57]
A
No, no, no. It's a fake account for the TV show. Because I've been watching the Sopranos, and I'm like, man, that. Like, it's fun. I just watched an episode where Tony Soprano had a bunch of money, and he, like, took it out, and then there's a bunch of guns. And then Carmela was helping him, and then he took it to his mom's, like, nursing home and was stashing it there. I was like, oh, my God. No one's gonna look. That's good crime. That's a good crime.
- [55:22]
B
She's like, yeah, no one's gonna look.
- [55:25]
A
She's an old lady.
- [55:27]
B
Yeah, it's a pretty good idea.
- [55:31]
A
Well, Lexi, we have come to the end.
- [55:34]
B
Oh.
- [55:34]
A
Do you have anything you want to promote?
- [55:37]
B
I would like to promote my tours. Yeah, please, please, please, please. The drag queen Christmas tour. It's actually going on right now. You can get tickets in a city near you. We're in 38 cities throughout this entire tour. My birthday is tomorrow, November 22nd. So please, we're just. You. A. Happy birthday.
- [55:56]
A
Happy birthday. You're a scorpio.
- [56:00]
B
I'm a sad scorpio on the cusp. It is literally you. You could flip. It's like, flip. You could just do the reverse. And if you're in Canada, you can see me on War on the catwalk.
- [56:12]
A
Ooh, Canada. E. Oh, here's a question I almost forgot to ask. I ask all of my guests. I think I've missed it five times. Times, probably. Would you date me?
- [56:24]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [56:25]
A
Yeah.
- [56:26]
B
Oh, my God, please. We would have so much fun.
- [56:28]
A
They say.
- [56:29]
B
They say date slash marry your best friend, so I would totally do it.
- [56:33]
A
Okay, here's why I would date you. You have a giraffe tattoo.
- [56:37]
B
That is literally my.
- [56:38]
A
That's going to be my next tattoo. I love giraffes. I went on safari in South Africa or. No, in Zimbabwe.
- [56:46]
B
Amazing.
- [56:46]
A
I was in Africa. I was on the continent of Africa.
- [56:49]
B
No longer in America.
- [56:50]
A
No longer in America. And have giraffes, like, just at the hotels.
- [56:54]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [56:55]
A
And I saw one and I was like, stop. And the driver stopped and I opened the van door and fell out of the van because I was like a giraffe. I love them so much. And they have such big eyelashes.
- [57:08]
B
So gorgeous. I know.
- [57:09]
A
They're so stunning. And they're so weird looking. I love them.
- [57:13]
B
You know, when they sleep, they curl up like a dog. Gorgeous.
- [57:18]
A
I love that. And I love their black tongues.
- [57:21]
B
It's really a dark purple so the sun doesn't burn it.
- [57:27]
A
Purple's my absolute favorite color. So this makes me love them more. Also, they don't travel in packs. Did you know that?
- [57:34]
B
No.
- [57:34]
A
They're a very independent animal and they choose to be in a pack and then they choose to leave the pack. I could be lying. This is what somebody told me, but it could be a lie.
- [57:44]
B
No, I believe it. I would believe anything you told me about dress.
- [57:47]
A
Hey, thanks. If you like this episode of why won't you date me? You can like it, you can rate it, you can subscribe. Give me 5 stars on Apple podcasts. And if you write me something nasty, hitting on me to why won't you date me? Podcastmail.com, i will read it out loud. Also, keep them a little short, please, so Mars doesn't have to edit them because I don't want a novel. I just want something nasty. Quick. Fast and nasty. A little quickie. Okay, this person writes, Nicole, I'd licked the ranch off your chili's plate like it was holy water, then press my face into the sizzling fajita skillet so I'm forever branded as yours. Well, that's insane, because it's a chili's fajita skillet, so you're going to be Chili's brand. Whatever. They don't have to make sense. I want the grease running down my face as I beg the waiter for extra napkins I'll never use. I drag my whole body across that sticky chili's floor just to catch a single crumb of your southwestern egg roll. And when I'm done, I'll tip 200%. Not because I'm generous, but because they watched me worship you like a feral raccoon. And. And heat from Alex. Alex has written a lot. Hey, Alex. Thank you. Goodbye. Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Please tell me why. That was a headgum podcast.
